Does a raised cam block also have to be a tall deck block? How can I tell a raised deck block from standard?
Ok, maybe that's two dumb questions, but I want my money's worth. [/quote
never heard of a low deck raised cam block, that doesn't mean they don't exist. Call the manufacturer and ask if they made one and how to identify it.

I have not heard of a raised cam low deck, pretty sure they are tall deck blocks.

Technically ... no. Brad Anderson "big bore" blocks are not considered tall decks (Deck=10.225 +/-) and they are ALL raised cams.

Most aftermarket BB blocks are available in a raised cam version.Indys aluminium water blocks are available in raised cam versions from 9.98 to 10.72 deck,their soild blocks is available in raised cam version from 9.98 to 10.820.Many other blocks are available in with a variety of deck measurments.Standard deck height for RB/Hemi is 10.720
So standard deck is 10.72, and it sounds like those can be either standard cam location or raised cam, and on top of that, I can get a raised deck, which would definitely have a raised cam, correct?

With any block you have to specify machine for raised cam unless the block is cast for raised cam.Most blocks are cast for standard applications.
